[quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of parents on here and in this area do a lot of enrichment for their kids.  What is the reason for this?  I can understand getting outside help if your child is behind on a subject but why enrich otherwise?  Wouldn't your child be bored in class?  And what is the point being x years ahead in for example math?  Wouldn't your kid learn the math eventually, so what advantage does doing it early provide?  I have been thinking more lately about how to prepare my kids best for success, and observing the adult world, it seems like traits such as perseverance, diligence, and hard work are really what you need to succeed.  What does being 2 grades above level in math in elementary school get you?  I went through the public school system myself with no enrichment and went to great post secondary schools and now have a great career, so I am totally unfamiliar with the enrichment obsessed culture of today.  I'm sure I'm missing something here, which is why I'm asking. [/quote]
